Check out a photo of The Signature at MGM Grand. Take a good, long, hard gander at it. This is what a sophisticated Vegas getaway looks like.Soaring 38 stories high, these three graceful towers stand like giant gold exclamation marks near the massive 5,044-room MGM Grand.However, The Signature isn't the kind of place that lingers in the shadow of a megaresort. Showcasing its own bold style, it offers a vacation experience to be envied.Of course, if you stay in any of The Signature's three identical towers, you'll have access to all of the nonstop excitement and entertainment at MGM Grand...just with a little breathing room.It typically takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the farthest Signature tower to MGM Grand. The towers are all linked together and connected to the mega resort via moving walkways.But we digress...let's get back to what can you expect while at The Signature.It's a nongaming, nonsmoking, all-suite resort. That means there'll be no noisy slot machines and no clouds of smoke hovering about. And the staff will bend over backwards to assist you.The accommodations are condo-style with either one or two bedrooms and small kitchens. Most of the suites offer private balconies. You'll have incredible views of either the Las Vegas Strip or the surrounding valley (and from some suites you can actually watch the planes take off and land at McCarran International Airport).Each tower has its own heated outdoor pool -- and as a guest of The Signature, you can swim at the Grand Pool too. You'll find a gift shop, a Starbucks and The Lounge, a swanky place to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail, in the first tower. The first and third towers contain fitness centers. The second tower is home to a deli called Delights that serves a lot more than sandwiches (you can get a good skillet scramble for breakfast or one of several different pastas for dinner).Then again, The Signature boasts such an incredible in-suite dining menu, you may not want to go out to eat. Available around the clock, it features items for breakfast, lunch and dinner, appetizers, snacks and desserts as well as bar selections. You can even request a box of handmade chocolate truffles or an artisan cheese spread be delivered.And, as mentioned earlier, anything that The Signature doesn't have, MGM Grand does. With the additional dining, entertainment, nightlife and shopping opportunities just a short stroll away, The Signature offers the best of two worlds: luxurious accommodations fit for a VIP combined with all the action of Sin City. This a place to stay that doesn't feel like Vegas, except when you want it to.

We stayed in the one bedroom deluxe suite. The most impressive features were the rooms amenities. I was very impressed at house keeping as well. The hotel is extremely quiet and exclusive. I was tickled to find out that they don't even allow the taxis to be visible, they are lined up out of view of the guests. The gated entrance to the hotel made me feel exclusive as well. As far as I am concerned, this is the only hotel I care to stay at while in Las Vegas! The only negative feature, if I have to even find one, is that there are no recycle bins for plastic and aluminum. It really negatively affected my girlfriend... had to drive around to find a drop off bin.

What's the charge for the valet parking? Is there a TV in each room? What size TV?

The valet parking is free. I rented a car while I was there. I usually tipped the valet when they brought out the car, but the service itself is free. We stayed in the one bedroom deluxe suite. There was a TV in the living room, a hidden TV in the bedroom and a small TV in the bathroom. I believe the TV's in the living room and bedroom are about a 42" flat screen LCD. I am not 100% sure, we never watched TV while there.

Luggage drop-off?

I do not travel very often so I don't know how the check-in process will go. My flight gets in at 11:40am on a Monday. I have arranged shuttle service from the airport to the Strip. Can I go to the Signature and check in and leave my luggage there, even if it's not official check-in time yet? Likewise, on Friday, I assume check-out is at 11am, but my flight home isn't until 4pm. Can I leave my luggage at The Signature until I go to the airport?

Even though I did not utilize their offer, but I was allowed early check in. I think we arrived just before 1pm when normal check in time is 3pm. At that time, they offered to hold my bags while I run around town until check in time. As mentioned, I did not have to use that because they found a room ready for me. You will not be disappointed in the level of customer service you will receive. The valet took our bags from the taxi, tagged them and then delivered them to our room so that we did not have to carry them. We used the kitchen and went grocery shopping, and they even took our grocery bags to the room. Excellent, top notch service.
